Pros

- Well stocked pantry. - Good brand to have on your resume. - That's about it.

Cons

- Intense and long hours(even for corporate services.) Your own manager will not have any empathy about your workload despite clear resourcing issues.. - Common reactions of: What about prioritization and highlighting workload capacity issues?" That doesn't work here - everything is a high priority and be prepared to take on 130-140% of what you can typically handle. - Teams run lean., There is an "always on" culture with little empathy.. Unless you are okay to not "switch off" during your holidays and well deserved AL, suggest to avoid coming here totally. - Recent Townhall was disastrous with our Chief People Officer sharing that she was "dismayed and disappointed" to see our recent Glassdoor reviews. How about listening and empathizing with the feedback and comments of employees...?

Pros

"People-first" culture (though this is rapidly eroding, see Cons)

Cons

Technology Group (TG) and the former Data Strategy Group (DSG) are nothing short of toxic. Under the direction of COO Sam Kim Yong Sang, we are witnessing a cold, calculated "silent layoff" campaign. Long-tenured staff who have given their best years to the firm are being funneled into mass PIPs that are designed for failure, not growth. This isn't about performance. It’s a transparent maneuver to trim headcount and hit aggressive KPI targets without the PR fallout of a formal redundancy. Management is treating human beings like line items on a spreadsheet, ignoring the devastating impact on families and the mental health of loyal employees. The TG leadership has become a puppet for these metrics, destroying the very culture of trust that took decades to build.
